On the north of the town of Sehwan are lying the remains of a great fort, which is said to have been built by Alexander the Great as mentioned by Richard Briton in his account but nothing Greek has been found there except an occasional coin, which proves that the coin got there, not necessarily the Greeks, while N.G Majumdar has the opinion that this fort belongs to Muslim period. The fort is now an immense mound of earth measuring roughly 400m x 200m and about 18m high from its surroundings which is filled with potsherds, brick-hats, bones, charcoal, ash etc. In the bottom of same mound few old style of Hindu period bricks of extra large size reported earlier, which must date back to the early centuries of the Christian era There are some structures visible on mound which indicate the different constructional phases of the fort. The fort seems to have been raised twice from its former height possibly by the Muslim.
